'06 M5 owner.

I'm feeling really guilty because my car is starting to look its age. I've been going around and replacing some of the worn parts.

I noticed the headlights are leaking slightly (messed up the controller) but also, the outer lenses are yellowing and actually starting to crack, internally, from the sun. Not something I can polish out.

I'm looking to get 2 new headlights, but I'm not about to pay dealership prices @ $1k/side.

The Headlights are HID with Orion V4, just for the record. My car is not LCI, I would be open to getting LCI-style and reprogramming the computer.

Are there any recommended vendors, even aftermarket? Unfortunately, it's not exactly like grabbing some new headlamps for my Nissan, the M5's headlamps are about as complicated as the tail section of a 747, it has to be complicated. I don't want to spend the better part of a grand and end up with some ebay crap that konks out in a month.

Bonus question, I also need to replace the rear windscreen trim, it's all cracked and chipped off, is there a source and P/N for that?

Simple yay or nay.

Again, it's going on my 06, I would probably need to reprogram for LCI, but here is a set coming out of Latvia, 99.6% positive seller rating:
